The Valais Black Chestnut has an incredibly thick wool coat, even on its paws! But it needs that thick wool to stay warm, because high up in the Swiss mountains, a strong, cold wind often blows. Would it like to give up some of its wool for its friends, for a nice, warm scarf? The Valais Black Chestnut is a beautiful animal, with its white wool and classic black face. It does not get upset easily and is happy in its home pasture, regardless of the weather conditions in the Swiss mountains. It even braves the coldest winter temperatures. No wonder: who would ever freeze with such a thick wool coat?
